I heard from my friend that Missouri was trembled with an earthquake. I hope no one was hurt. This will make you think if this is God’s wrath taking effect or just the global warming results the we created.

I am pretty sure that both of what I mentioned above, also categorized as fortuitous event, is striking Myanmar to certain cyclone death. To date, four thousand people were killed and nearly three thousand others are missing after an ongoing devastating average of category 2 typhoon strength.

May God forgive what we did on earth and help them by prayers and petition, lessen their sufferings. God Bless America! God Bless us All!

While driving along the freeway going home, I passed by this huge concrete factory. It looked efficient and productive in terms of earnings as this seemed to be a big company. At the back of it, a tall chimney-pipe like tube was billowing white smoke out of it. Out of curiosity, I asked my friend what that smoke is and she told me that, that was a trash incinerator.

It was a recycling plant. We all know that recycling is good but, while recycling, you are creating more smoke to add to global warming. Which is the lesser evil then?

I, myself have been participating in various campaigns to help stop environment deterioration. The latest was the Earth Hour where in I switched off my electricity for not only an hour, but for the entire day! You know the secret? I went to my friends house and celebrated earth hour there with candle lights. If everyone does the same thing that I am doing, the future will be brighter. Literally! Are you thinking about your children’s future?

Great. What a topic for a first post.

They say writers are made, not born. Others say it’s the other way around. Well, ALL of us can write but few of us learn to love it like we love eating. But thanks to the birth of blogging, it seems writing has become a part of our system.

What struck me is that though some people consider or are considering writing as the source of paying the bills, once you ask them to write, they’ll back off and go to oblivion. It was irritating but then I really do can empathize as I encounter those moments where I feel banging my head for the first sentence.

Sometimes I hate writing because:

1. The ideas come at an unexpected and inconvenient time.

I bet there was a time you couldn’t sleep because your lightbulb moment came at the wee hours of the morning and yet you can’t get up to write because you want to sleep first but then you get up and write what’s in your head until you noticed that the sun’s up and you have to go to work.

2. You can’t write anything when you should have jotted down something.

This happens a lot when you’re pressured to write at a certain time. Even though you have ideas, the actual writing won’t take place only until 30 minutes before your deadline.

3. You end up writing more than you should have in the first place.

And then it gets rejected and you have to start all over again. You were just supposed to be submitting 200 words but you end up with a thousand and then to be slapped in the face with a 85% revision.

Inspite of these, I still write and look forward to it. Pressure is writing’s greatest foe. When one is given a time constraint to jot down it feels like the world is tumbling upside down. Our muses can only do much. Sometimes I wonder if there are really these inspirations or it’s all in the head. Nevertheless, I do love writing, even though I despise it sometimes.
